Guided walking holiday

Spain • Canary Islands • Lanzarote

Hot underfoot...
Over two centuries ago the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and alluring countryside in its wake – a landscape littered with volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to nearly every scene on the island and none more so than the 'Fire Mountains'. A true walking adventure.

Some of our days

Arrival day

A short transfer gets us to our hotel in time for a swim before a brief introduction to the island and dinner.

Teguise market and Haria

After visiting Teguise for market day we walk in the valley of a thousand palm trees. We follow a pilgrim's trail to the Ermita de las Nieves with spectacular views of the surrounding islands.

The mountains of fire

An extraordinary walk amidst the reds, ochres and blacks of this lunar-like landscape demonstrates the power of the natural world. After a visit to a geothermic exhibition we walk to the very edge of the Caldera Blanca, stepping on the still-warm lava.

Papagayo, Femes and Yaiza

After a visit to the nature reserve of Playa de Papagayo, we head to the ancient village of Femes where we start a fine circular walk with marvellous views around the peak of Atalaya de Femes.

Free day

A chance to relax around the pool or take an optional tour with a particular focus on the creations of Cesar Manrique, including his cactus garden, the famous Mirador del Rio and his incredible lava created cave system.
